    Paper bags have a larger print on earth....
    The manufacturing process makes at least 10 times more waste (and poisons the soil)
    Better to reuse plastic bags...

    @RodrigoF Or use a sturdy backpack!

    But yeah, most paper contains about as much plastic polymers as plastic bags.

    You don't have those issues if you just recycle. ♻️

    @bittersweet problem is in the processing...
    New or recicled a lot of chemicals are used (water based, to wash, clean and white the paper)
    Plastic bags have almost no finger print on production and recicling...

    @RodrigoF Yup, and the drying... I've momentarily worked in a paper factory, and there were two giant turbines gobbling up 1500m3 gas/minute to heat up drying machines. And thousands of liters of fibre rich effluent water running off into a lake at 60c...

    The water in the lake is lake is the worst... Should be a low against it, but It's hard to create laws against lobbies...
